Bejeweled 3 Collection - Feeding Frenzy 2

A late go on Feeding Frenzy 2 came with the FrenzyFest Master achievement for 15G for winning a FrenzyFest followed by the Quadruple Flip achievement for 15G.


These were soon joined by Life of the Party for a further 15G for amassing 1000 party points. The next achievement was the Barracuda Bully for 25G for biting the Barracuda 4 times on the tail and then eating it which left only one achievement to unlock which is the Time Attack which will be attempted in the morning.

London 2012 Olympic Mode chase

A late go and after a lot of tries finally the Cracking The Clay achievement for hitting all targets on Station 4 and even better did it in the final and won gold with a score of 20.

The night ended with the completion of  Medium mode better than the first go around as this time I achieved All Around Athlete and Successful Campaign each for 20G.

Leaving London 2012 with only 9 achievements to do and most are difficult so will analyse whther to focus on them or move on and return in the future. The medium campaign ended with 12 Gold 5 Silver and 3 Bronze.

London 2012 nears a photo finish

After yesterdays amazing haul of achievements, London is now on 31/44 achievements meaning the end is near despite the game progress problem, Thursday has started well with the Awesome Foursome achievement for 15G for completing a challenge with four players but no further achievements before bed. Night

London 2012 going for gold on Independence Day

An afternoon burst began with the Super Fish achievement for 30G for gold in all swimming events followed by Leaping Legend for 30G for gold in all jumping events.

Next up Quick and Painful for 15G for hitting the final hurdle and still winning a medal (Gold) and next was the Running Man for getting gold in all track events for 30G.

Flipping Fantastic for 30G vaulted in for golds in all gymnastic events and splashing in next is No Splash for a further 30G for a 10.0 in a dive.

Team Spirit synchronised in for 15G for beating an original personal best in a team event followed by Team Player for 30G for 3 golds in team events.

Friendly Competition added to a great afternoon hit so far for 15G for a four player event. Total Shutout came next for winning a Table Tennis match 7-0,7-0 for 30G.

They were soon joined by Superb Serving for 10 Career Aces for 10G and Game Set and Match for 30G for golds in Volleyball/Table Tennis.

Tea break then a rapid resume for Aimbot for 30G for all 10's in a Rapid Fire round which led to Sharpshooter for golds in Rapid Fire and Skeet for 30G taking me over 400G for the day!

Next I went online and got the Represent achievement for 15G for competing for  National Pride then a break for 2 hours.

Achievement chase slightly on hold as in going back on London 2012 a message popped up saying my game progress had been reset meaning I will have to redo Olympic mode on medium to unlock hard difficulty and also redo every event twice for the personal best achievement and typical just as I was close to this being my best day for TA ever it'll be 3rd now barring a miracle which sadly didn't occur but overall i've ended today with 18 achievements 757 TA and 425G = my best day since April 2011.

London 2012 is Kinected

A late go with the kinect began with 30G for No Weak Links for completing targets

 in a challenge set, Show Pony for emoting before a race event for 15G and finally Competitive Spirit for 10G then off to bed.

London 2012 into its second day

Back on London 2012 and the Big Hitter achievement smashed in for 10G in the Table Tennis qualifier. Speedily through was Photo Finish for 10G winning the 100m by less than 0.07s

 Sliding over the bar next is Close Shave for 10G in the High Jump Qualifier followed fashionably by Style Conscious for 10G and time for bed.  

London 2012 begins on July 1st

After a long run on Bioshock, London 2012 is next as I break away from the A-Z for a new game and began with the My Way achievement for 5G followed by World Champion for 15G for my first world record which came in the Shot Put event.

Next unlocked was Human Catapult for 30G for receiving a gold medal in all throwing events. The Contender for 10G came next for qualifying for a final.

Foul Play was the next to be unlocked for 10G for 30 fouls in Field events with the last in the Long Jump final and the result saw me get the Get Gold Achievement for 10G a gold medal in the aforementioned final.

A little later a shock as I received the Never Touched The Sides achievement for 15 G, it was a shock because on previous Olympic Games, the Kayaking event was the worst event for me and not once did I even finish above last place never mind qualifying in 1st for the final! ( Silver medal in the final)

Next event was the Archery qualifying and hit the Hows That?! for 20G for hitting a Bullseye and ended with the Self Improvement achievement for 20G for retrying the final and finishing 3rd instead of the original 4th. Then off to watch the Euro 2012 Final.

Bioshock nears the end?

As July began,current game Bioshock clawed closer to conclusion with only 5 achievements to go due to the unlocking of the 45th and 46th achievements -
Weapon Specialist for 10G soon joined by Avid Inventor for another 10G.

Within 10 minutes another achievement unlocked -  Dealt with every Little Sister for a massive 40G. July 2012 is under 2 hours into existence and I am already 3 for 60G.

That soon increased to 4 for 110G with the acquisition of Tonic Collector for 50G leaving 3 Achievements to unlock.

The night ended with the Hard Story completed and the Seriously Good at This achievement for 40G . So I will now move on and come back to the last 2 achievements in the future as they will take a lot of time and effort to complete.

Jan-June Summary

When I began this blog I set out two main goals for the year from January which were:

• Reach a total of 5000 achievements 

• Reach 100,000 gamerscore

In March the following goal was added to the list: 

• Reach 100,000 True Achievement score. 

This month the progress has been limited with other things going on in my life and also the difficulty of getting achievements on some of the A-Z games such as Beijing 2008 and Bejeweled.This saw over a week containing less than 10 achievements and has left June with 44 Achievements for only 825G.

 As today is July 1st (the halfway point of 2012) the goals are a long way from being reached but there are a lot of games to get through and some with masses of 'easy' acheivements to unlock.

Goal        Current    Gap
5000         3020      (1980 Achs)
100000     58070    (41,980 G)
100000     76555    (23445 TA)

An evening shift on Bioshock began with Fully Researched Bouncer for 10G then Maxed All Tracks for 50G, Four Fully Upgraded Weapons for 10G, Research PhD for 20G, Found Cohen's Room for 20G and also got the Five Fully Upgraded Weapons achievement for 10G before the 12am cut off point for July.
